OSHKOSH — After over a month of back-and-forth, city leaders finally agreed on a plan to fix the lack of parking on Oregon Street.

It's a bit less than expected.

The city will restore four parking spaces — two on each side — on the block of Oregon Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues. At its last meeting, the Common Council directed city staff to develop a compromise between two options — restoring five spaces or restoring 13 spaces.

According to city documents, staff decided on four spaces in consultation with business owners on the block, which had lost the most spaces on the street during construction.

Councilor Matt Mugerauer expressed his disappointment for the plan and questioned city staff on why the number was lower than previous discussed.

"Basically, that was the only concerns we heard; we haven't heard from anyone else," said Jim Collins, the city's transportation director. "We had the business owner meeting and basically it was the businesses between Eighth and Ninth that expressed concerns and then at the last council meeting, it was the businesses between Eighth and Ninth that expressed concerns."

Councilor Steve Herman pointed out there were no business owners at the meeting to oppose the plan.

The measure passed, 4-1-1, with Mugerauer voting in opposition and Deputy Mayor Lori Palmeri abstaining. Councilor Deb Allison-Aasby was absent from the meeting.
